National Day of Giving Volunteer Project with the Food Bank of the Rockies

Thursday, December 29, 2016

During this most wonderful time of the year, we hope you'll join us in giving to those in need.

You've heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Even better is #GivingTuesday - a global rally for giving. The fifth annual #GivingTuesday is on November 29 and we are teaming up with our friends at Plum Organics and the Food Bank of the Rockies to support families in need this holiday season.

We really wanted to work with the Food Bank of the Rockies so we are holding our day of giving on December 29th, which was their earliest available date to host a large group like ours.

We are very proud to welcome our partner Plum Organics into the #GivingTuesday mix this year in seven City Dads Group cities across the United States. Plum Organics is the #1 organic baby food brand, and they believe deeply in using their business as a force for good. For #GivingTuesday, Plum Organics is donating a full palate of product to Good+ . . . that is over 400 pounds of food for families in need!

We are working with Food Bank of the Rockies. Several of us volunteered with them at the National At Home Dad Network conference a few years ago and were so impressed with their work. For this session, we will be sorting and bundling the Plum Organics donation to be distributed to families in need.

These sessions always turn out to be meaningful experiences for all involved. Please take this opportunity to give back with other dads this holiday season . . . join us to give back, and join us online using hashtags #PlumParents and #GivingTuesday on Twitter and Instagram.

To participate, please send me your name and contact information/email so I can get you registered with our group.

Thanks!

More About the Plum Organics Mission

As a Public Benefit Corporation, Plum’s mission to nourish little ones and to fight childhood hunger is codified into our corporate charter.

Plum was founded on a mission to get the very best food to little ones from the very first bite. The Full Effect® extends that mission to ALL children in America.

We believe every little one deserves the nutrients, vitamins and calories she needs to thrive. Working with non-profit partners in communities across the US, The Full Effect® fights malnutrition by donating nourishing organic food and promoting nutrition education. So far, we’ve given away more than 12M organic meals and snacks to kids who need them.

Because we know when little ones are full of the right nutrients, they can live up to their full potential and have their full effect on the world.

Disclosure: Plum Organics is sponsoring this Meetup with product donation to Food Bank of the Rockies and financial compensation to Denver Dads Group for future events. We work with partners that align with our values and the needs of our members, and Plum Organics is no exception.

This group helps At-Home Dads, Work-At-Home Dads, and involved fathers share great activities with their kids and other Dads.

The focus to create a environment for our children to interact with each other and have fun, while also allowing for some dad-on-dad dialog--something many of us are lacking.

Meetups occur around the Denver Area, and are both indoor and outdoor. Feel free to check out what we have scheduled, or suggest a meetup yourself!

If you are interested in facilitating meet-ups in your specific area of Denver, please let me know and we will set you up as an organizer.

Come out, share your experiences, and most of all, have fun with your kids!

Cheers,

Chris

(Please note, this is a group for dads. If you're a wife and mom joining for your husband, please have him sign up with his own account. We'd love him to join.
